Loft Peeping: 14,000-Square-Foot Triplex Penthouse

Interior Design featured the stunning triplex penthouse atop 10 Hubert. The back story:

First the property of a liquor merchant and later taken over by a pistachio baron, [the 1892 building] was occupied in recent decades by an artist who let it fall derelict. The current owner bought it on eBay—yes, you read that correctly—to redevelop as apartments, plus a storefront. He hired ODA New York to restore the facade, construct a 1,000-square-­foot pavilion on the roof, and combine it with the two original top levels to create a 14,000­ square­ foot triplex for him to live in.

The Landmarks Preservation Commission insisted that the rooftop addition be invisible from the street, which is why it has a slanted roof. It’s home to a den and entertaining space.
